Bio
🥷 Donatas Simkus
Petter is a hard-working performance marketing professional. He has broad knowledge and expertise across different channels covering B2C and B2B. He is always happy to help on any task or project and comes up with loads of great ideas on how to improve a campaign or try something new. I enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to any business.

Petter is a dedicated PPC-specialist with a love of spreadsheets and number crunching. On a personal level he is very friendly and has a good sense of humor that brings a lot of morale and fun to the teams he is a member of. Even though I only worked with Petter for 3 months, he was instrumental in getting me up to speed into Digital Opptur, thus making sure that the clients I would take over responsibility for, would continue to achieve great results. Petter is a classical PPC-nerd that is always ahead of current trends in the digital advertising world. He also really really really likes to have conversations with clients and colleagues with the goal of finding the most profitable solutions to each and every unique challenge. Furthermore, it was inspiring to see how much control he has in using spreadsheets in order to work as efficiently as possible. I have no problem in giving Petter my best recommendations. I am sure he would be a valuable asset to any team regardless of any role in the PPC-world.
